wannabe vegetarian?
hey there!
I wanna be a vegetarian, I feel i face oposition in my fam. My mum chucks a mental if anyone in our house wants to do as much as use the microwave or toaster when she is cooking a meal. It’s pretty unbelievable.
I haven’t told my fam about wanting to go veg yet because i feel they would be unsupportive. I’m quite serious about not eating meat anymore. Even if i was granted the elusive use of the microwave and toaster for me to use, it wouldn’t be enough to sustain me on a vegetarian diet in the long term – i wouldn’t even be allowed to chop up vegetables let alone cook them in a tasty way.
When I was in grade 4 i went veg and after a while my mum started slipping small pieces of meat into my food, and packing my lunch with say, a beef samwhich. Trying to force me to go back to eating meat.
Please help! any ideas?
Okay, I definitely think you should talk with your mom about being too controlling. It sounds like your old enough to make some of your own decisions and she needs to respect that.
Whenever I became vegetarian my mom supported me but the rest of my family and friends didn’t. They would tell me I was going to die or get really sick or I was weird. It hurt because to me, vegetarianism isn’t a huge deal. It’s just a meal preference or a way of showing how you feel about something. You do need to tell your family…even though they might not support you. They’ll get over it. Show them some information about the health benefits of being vegetarian and explain that it’s something you are serious about and you want them to support you or at least not undermine your efforts.
I think with time they’ll come around.
Be prepared for lots of “Why?” questions. Tell your heart and stick to your guns. Don’t let anybody tell you its stupid.
Good luck!
“VEGGIE POWER!”
